Heirloom Tomato Tart

This tomato tart is a perfect blend of simplicity and freshness, making it an easy yet impressive dish for any occasion. With layers of crispy, golden phyllo dough brushed with olive oil and topped with ripe, juicy tomatoes, it brings the flavors of summer to your table in every bite. The smoky richness of Gouda, combined with Parmesan and fragrant Sicilian seasoning, adds depth and character to the tart. Whether you’re hosting guests or treating yourself to a light meal, this tart is a breeze to make and a delight to enjoy.

Ingredients:

• 7 sheets phyllo dough (14 inches x 9 inches)

• 1/3 cup olive oil

• 4 ripe heirloom tomatoes, sliced about a 1/2 inch

• 1/2 cup shredded smoked Gouda cheese

• 1/2 cup shredded Parmesan cheese

• 1 tablespoon Sicilian seasoning or oregano

• 1/4 teaspoon salt

• 1/4 teaspoon pepper

Instructions:

1. Preheat oven to 375°F. Place one sheet of phyllo dough on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Brush the entire sheet with olive oil.

2. Sprinkle with 1 tablespoon shredded Parmesan cheese. (Keep remaining phyllo covered with plastic wrap and a damp towel to prevent it from drying out.) Repeat layers, brushing oil all the way to the edges.

3. Sprinkle the final layer with smoked Gouda cheese.

4. Arrange tomato slices in a slightly overlapping pattern over the Gouda. Sprinkle with Sicilian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Bring up the edges of the tart to prevent the tomato running over the sides

5. Bake for 15 to 20 minutes, or until the phyllo is golden and crisp.

6. Enjoy and remember to always Set the Table with Love.

About Me

Hi, I am Lisa. I am learning every day how to love up on this beautiful gift of living, cherishing each moment as it comes. Especially because at 38 I was dying, and now I am 55 years old, I have gained a deeper appreciation for life’s simple pleasures. I’m married to my wonderful husband of 30 years, who not only supports me through thick and thin but has also selflessly served as my kidney donor, a true testament to his love and commitment. Together, we have raised two incredible kids, aged 38 and 25, and I delight in watching them thrive. Our family has expanded beautifully with two grandkids who fill our lives with joy, a lovely daughter-in-law who has seamlessly joined our family, and a grand fur baby who adds warmth to our home. Here you will find life, food, and how I set the table with love for myself, my friends, and my family, creating cherished memories around meals that go beyond nourishment. I hope it inspires you to love up on your life a bit more and encourage you to surround your table with love, laughter, and the people you hold dear. We get one go at this precious journey, so let’s make it something deliciously beautiful, savoring each bite along the way. Thanks for stopping by; your presence adds to the warmth of this shared experience.
